Bakoven is a small pocket of homes and beach bungalows just south of Camps Bay, tucked below the Twelve Apostles on the sea side of Victoria Road. Plots are compact, the lanes are short and narrow, and on summer days every kerb near Beta Beach fills with parked cars, so it pays to decide where the skip will stand before the truck arrives.
Where a skip fits on a Bakoven plot
Where the house has a driveway, garage apron or paved parking bay inside the boundary, use it. A skip on private property needs no City permit, and keeping it off a short Bakoven lane means neighbours can still get in and out.
Bungalows closer to the water are often reached on foot, and the truck can only set the skip down where it can stop. When that spot is the road, the pavement or the verge, you need the City's prior written permission first. That means a Temporary Use (of the road reserve) application to the Roads Infrastructure Management district office, with an R712 admin fee on the 2026/27 tariff, and the City can ask for a refundable deposit. There is no online application.
- Measure the gap between gate posts or garage walls before you book.
- Wherever the skip stands, it must not block the sidewalk for pedestrians.
- Carry waste up from a bungalow in bags or a wheelbarrow, then fill no higher than the rim.
- On windy days, put broken tiles or bricks on top of lighter waste.
Driveway or road: the City rule
A skip on your own driveway, yard or paving needs no City permit. A skip on a public road, pavement or verge needs the prior written permission of the City of Cape Town, according to the City's Streets, Public Places and Prevention of Noise Nuisances By-law, 2007, section 10, which counts the verge as part of the road.
The application is a Temporary Use (of the road reserve) form, handed in at the Roads Infrastructure Management district office. The admin fee is R712 for 2026/27, and the City can ask for a refundable deposit. There is no online application.
Getting the truck in off Victoria Road
Bakoven's streets come off Victoria Road (the M6), the coastal route from Camps Bay towards Llandudno and Hout Bay. On hot weekends and through the December holidays it slows to a crawl with beach traffic, and cars park tight along the side streets, so a weekday delivery outside peak season meets less traffic. When you book, mention a steep lane, a tight turn at the bottom of the road, or low branches or cables near your gate.
What Bakoven skip hire usually clears
- Bungalow refresh before summerOld tiles, broken shelving and tired fittings from a beach bungalow being readied for the season. Bag the small pieces so they can be carried up the path by hand.
- Bathroom strip-outTiles, a basin and a cut-up vanity from a small bathroom fit comfortably in a 2m³ skip, which takes roughly 2–3 bakkie loads.
- Salt-burnt garden clean-upPruned shrubs, dead branches and old pot plants from a garden that takes the full force of the sea air.
- Step or retaining wall repairBroken concrete and stone from steps or a low wall on a sloping plot. Rubble is heavy, so stop at the rim.
- Garage clear-outOld furniture, boxes and beach gear past saving. Paint tins, gas bottles and batteries are not accepted, so keep them out.
Loads the skip can't take
- Asbestos (a registered asbestos contractor removes it)
- Paint, solvents, oil and other chemicals
- Liquids
- Gas cylinders
- Tyres and batteries
- Medical waste and e-waste
Heavy or green loads
Brick, concrete and tile rubble is heavy: fill to the rim and check before loading pure soil. Branches go in cut to length and laid flat.

The 2m³ skip arrives
The skip-loader truck sets the skip down on the spot you choose, normally a driveway or yard. A spot on the road or verge needs the City's written permission first.
Fill it, then collection
You get 3 days to load it to the rim. Collection and licensed disposal are in the price for rubble, garden and household waste.
Good to know before you book in Bakoven
My Bakoven bungalow has no road access. Can the skip be placed down at the house?
No, the skip cannot be placed down at a Bakoven bungalow with no road access. It goes where the truck can stop, which for a foot-access bungalow is the street above. A spot on the road, pavement or verge needs the City's prior written permission before delivery. Where there is a driveway or private bay at street level, use that and carry the waste up in bags or a wheelbarrow.
Is there less traffic for a Bakoven delivery outside the summer holidays?
Yes, there is less traffic for a Bakoven delivery outside the summer holidays. In December and on hot weekends, Victoria Road and the streets near Beta Beach are crowded with beach traffic and parked cars, which makes it harder for a truck to stop. Delivery is booked for the same week in any season and the 3 days on site are included either way, and a quieter week means less disruption for you and your neighbours.
How much bungalow rubbish fits in one mini skip?
One 2m³ mini skip fits roughly 2–3 bakkie loads of bungalow rubbish, enough for most small bathroom strip-outs, a garage clear-out or a season's garden cuttings from a Bakoven plot. Fill it level with the rim and no higher, because an overfilled skip cannot be lifted and carried safely. Longer hire than the included 3 days is available on request, so ask when you book.
